The models designed by her for her Graduation received awards at the International Design Contest for Fashion Design and Textiles "I & I 88" in 1988. In the following, she presented the exclusive models of her collection at different exhibitions, e.g., at the "Landesgewerbeamt" of the state Baden-Wuerttemberg, at the "Heimtextil" fair in Frankfurt as well as in Porzan (Poland) within the framework of a cultural exchange program.

After several engagements as costume designer at the "Landesbühne Rheinland-Pfalz" (state theater), at the "Kleine Theater Bad Godesberg" (theater) and with the Circus Roncalli, she decided to become a freelance costume designer. 1992 she founded her own studio, the "Kostümwerkstatt Monika Seidl" in Wehrheim near Frankfurt/Main.

In September 2004, she opened up her studio in Offenbach/Main. There she designs and creates costumes of all kind for theaters, musicals, film, tv, videos, vaudeville and other events.
